1Up reports on
Microsoft's hopes that the release of Grand Theft Auto IV for Windows in
November will revitalize (or perhaps vitalize) the
Games
for Windows program, which has not exactly set the world on fire since its
launch two years ago. Word is the release of the PC edition of Rockstar's
open-world action game will offer "a revitalized Games for Windows Live
experience" with the inclusion of a separate Games for Windows client and a game
marketplace. There are no further details on planned enhancements to the GFW
program beyond an ability to sell games directly.
